For the third instalment, Woodford-based Burnt Lemon Chefs owner James Peck, who was named chef of the year at the Northamptonshire Food and Drink Awards 2018, wanted to focus on Father's Day on Sunday, June 22.

“The Supper Club has been a great way of giving people a bit of contact with others during what has been a massively difficult period for us all," he said.

“We’ve used Facebook and Instagram to make it as interactive as possible, with live cook-alongs and the chance for guests to chat to each other throughout the night.

"This time we’re doing it for the dads, giving them the opportunity to cook the perfect burger, crack open a beer and enjoy a taste of the summer.

“With Premier League football also back on the telly that weekend it’s set to be a great day for all us blokes.”

The £35-a-head BBQ package includes an 8oz smoked brisket and short rib burger with bacon, cheese, beer and onion jam and smokey BBQ sauce.

Sides include chimichurri corn-on-the-cob and rainbow slaw while those with a sweet tooth can enjoy a grilled smores sandwich with butterscotch sauce.

Drinks pairings will be a trio of vodka cocktails: an organic Hugo, an elderflower Collins and an espresso martini.

A separate bundle featuring six craft beers from Braybrooke Brewery, Three Hills Brewing and Boot Town Brewery can be added for £16, while a family bundle for two adults and two children is available for £90.

Benjamin Jelley, founder of Brixworth-based Jelley’s, said: “Lockdown restrictions are slowly starting to ease but we’re still a long way from being back to normal.

“It’s been so difficult for people left unable to celebrate important occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries so we wanted to do something for the dads to mark Fathers’ Day and show them they’ve not been forgotten.”
